If you’ve been diving into Diamond Dynasty lately, you already know that Chase Pack 16 is one of the hottest items in MLB The Show 26 right now. The reason is simple: it guarantees you at least one Diamond tier player card, and it gives you a rare jackpot chance to pull the incredibly elite 98 OVR Cycle Milestone Bryce Harper.

Whether you are running a strict No-Money-Spent (NMS) squad or you have a massive bank of Stubs burning a hole in your virtual pocket, you want to get your hands on as many of these packs as possible. Here are the three best ways to unlock Chase Pack 16 right now.

1. Grind the 4th Inning XP Reward Path Wheel (Best Free Method)

For the NMS community, maximizing your XP grind is easily the most reliable, cost-free strategy to pull this pack.

First, you need to put structural focus on completing the main 4th Inning XP Program. Once you clear the core rewards and reach the end of the main path, the real farming begins. Every extra chunk of XP you accumulate after completing the path triggers a spin on the infinite, repeatable Reward Path Wheel. Chase Pack 16 is sitting right there in the reward pool, giving you multiple shots at it just for playing the game.

To speed this process up drastically, make sure you are optimizing your playtime. Look for overlapping Diamond Dynasty missions that you can stack across Ranked Seasons, Battle Royale, and the current Moonshot II Event. Knocking out multiple stat missions in a single game will maximize your XP per hour and get you spinning that wheel much faster.

2. Purchase a "The Show 50-Pack Bundle" (Direct Guarantee)

If you’ve been working the market and have built up a massive bank of Stubs, you can bypass the RNG grind entirely and buy your way to a guaranteed drop.

If you head over to the Pack Market, you will see the standard The Show 50-Pack Bundle. Purchasing this specific bundle automatically grants you exactly one Chase Pack 16 as a built-in topper bonus.

A quick word of caution for market flippers and budget players: always weigh the risk before spending a fortune on bundles. While the Chase Pack guarantees a Diamond, pulling a base-tier Diamond might not always yield a positive return on your investment if you miss out on that jackpot Bryce Harper card. Buy this if you have the Stubs to spare.

3. Farm Standard "The Show Packs" for Rare Drops

Never underestimate the power of opening basic packs in bulk. Every single standard, individual pack you open carries a hidden, small random percentage chance to automatically upgrade into a Chase Pack. If you hoard and open enough of them, you will eventually see that purple light flash.

You can easily farm dozens of these base packs for free by targeted gameplay:

• June Programs: Completely clear out the reward tracks in both the June Countdown Program and the June Spotlight Program. They are loaded with free standard packs.

• Repeatable Game Modes: If you finish the programs, jump into Conquest or Mini Seasons. Replaying efficient Conquest maps or speed-running Mini Seasons championships is a tried-and-true method to rapidly farm massive bundles of free packs without spending a single stub.
